Lateral Epicondyle Tendinopathy Toolkit

What is it?

From the creators of the Achilles Tendinopathy Toolkit at the University of British Columbia, comes the Lateral Epicondyle Tendinopathy Toolkit. This toolkit offers a summary of the current evidence and expert informed recommendations for interventions commonly used in the treatment of lateral epicondyle tendinopathy.

Interventions reviewed include:

  • Manual therapy
  • Exercise
  • Low level laser therapy
  • Shock Wave Therapy
  • Iontophoresis
  • Orthotic devices
  • Taping
  • Outcome measures

Our Thoughts:

Although the Home Exercise Program Handout is quite limited (including only wrist extensor strengthening and stretching exercises), the rest of the resource is very thorough. The treatment algorithm is also a useful clinical tool for decision making and treatment planning.
